Birth Name:
Kimberly Denise Jones
Birth Place:
Brooklyn, New York, United States
Date of Birth:
July 11, 1975
What Race or Ethnicity?:
African American
The American female rapper and former girlfriend of Christopher “B.I.G.” Wallace is of African American heritage. However according to IMDB it is stated that she is also of Native American Indian descent, though this has not been confirmed by other sites.
There is a perception by many, especially the black community that Kim has had numerous operations to alter her appearance. When Kim was asked about this rumor in a BET interview she apparently hung up on the interviewer.

@ Willy Wonka…..Trinidadian is a nationality(country of birth), You Talked of trinidadian as if it was a a race …I’m from trinidad…But my race is African/ Black……..So Lil kim is probably Black( which I am guessing cause i dont see any physical features that tells me she is otherwise), but being that Trinidad is such an diverse place….She could have ancestry of Indian,White, asian, etc…any of these races….

Lil Kim wants so badly to look like she’s mixed with Asian. I remember hearing how she wanted an Asian chick to play her in “Notorious” smh

she only looks “native” because all the things she’s been doing to her face if you look at how she looked before you would think other wise.

If you want to know what a native looks like google it and then compare it to the real face that she was born with. How can people say she looks native after all the facial surgeries she has obviously done. She has changed her nose, cheeks, chin, eyes and lips her whole appearance has changed not by genetics but surgery.

YOU ARE RIGHT EVERY ONE IS NOT RACIALLY MIXED. African Americans do not know their full history, and tend to believe what they hear about all Africans being mixed raced.However, everybody may just be mixed. They are racially mixed or psyochology mixed.
